The Moth Among Recipients of MacArthur Award for Creative & Effective Institutions

The Moth, a New York City-based not-for-profit dedicated to the art of storytelling, is among the recipients of the MacArthur Award for Creative & Effective Institutions. The awards go to institutions that address some of the world's most pressing problems in creative ways.

The organization will receive $750,000, which it plans to use to preserve its 15-year video and audio archive, as well as to create a cash reserve for the organization, and to expand the growth of The Moth Radio Hour, which will begin weekly airings in January 2013.
